The Simon Mabhunu Sabela Awards.

A KZN Film Commission initiative The Simon ‘Mabhunu’ Sabela
Awards named after the South African Film and TV

legend were held at the Durban
ICC Arena. The ceremony recognizes outstanding achievement within the SA Film
and Film Industry and International Industry with special focus on
Kwazulu-Natal talent in particular. The evening was lovely with performances by
Dream Team, Naima Kay and DJ Tira. The highlight of the evening happened when
Ian Roberts was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award but he wasn’t in attendance.
When he was finally located about an hour later, he walked up the stage and
said he forgot the Awards were that evening. The hall erupted with laughter. The people of Kwa-Zulu Natal are
quite proud of the body of work they have produced and more will come out from them.
